The asteroid ringFrom a statistical analysis of asteroid orbital period data, it is shown that the present distribution of asteroids is strongly correlated with the present orbital period of Jupiter (to 1 part in 5000). By analyzing the distribution of orbital eccentricities and inclinations it is shown that the resonant structure of the belt was formed after the asteroids dispersed from the near-coplanar disk in which they accreted.
